These people could have at least looked age appropriate. They all look like they're in college. And the school doesn't even look similar. Can't anyone make a live action movie of an anime without making all the fans want to kill themselves?
I can't tell who's who yet.... : O I somehow like the anime better. Cause I understand it better and it scares the crap out of me in a funny way. : L Not saying this doesnt but I haven't seen the movie. I hope there's english subtitles to it...
Haha I actually liked the movie xD I didn't reayyl care about what hair color cause seriously, it doesn't freakin matter. If it's for distinction purposes, you kind of get to know who's who. Although, Rena could've been a bit more adorable but whatever, it was funny and creepy like it was supposed to be
America should make their own Higurashi live action movie... Don't slap me or anything. I love J-culture, but America's movies tend to be better than Japan's... And I ~was~ a bit disappointed by this. ): ...Is anyone with me or am I alone?! D:
The characters would look a little better No I'm not a racist because I'm Asian Myself. And yeah I love the japanese culture too but American Movies does have more emotion. The only problem is that how are they gonna connect the shrine and festival performance thingies with a America
This movie isn't as bad as some people think it is. Sure, the characters are portrayed less visually accurately than an average cosplayer, but at least the acting is decent and the adaptation is pretty good.
I still find the anime much better, even if the animation fails. ;) The anime laughs are infinitely crazier, and the outfits are cuter. ^^
it would look really dumb. live-actions are supposed to be realistic in some aspects. like appearance for example. and i agree on the hair styles at least. Rena's should be shorter at least, Mion's ponytail should be longer, and Rika should at least have her hair down.
I can't even tell who is who. They don't look anything like the real characters from the anime. This movie looks really different from the anime. I don't want to watch it honestly.
you have to watch the movie if you´re a higurashi fan.. it´s great.
of course they don´t look like the anime ones... green hair? the same faces? what do you want`? if you´re watching it you will see who is who and the movie is like the anime (episode 1-4)
well, actually shion isn't here. mion is, she's the one with the ponytail.
but everywhere is see for the newxt higurashi movie (the sequal) shion will be in it but it alway says she'll be played by Kelli Kassidi, the english voice actress who voiced mion/shion in the anime!?
i know right ^^ it's wheel of fortune by eiko shimamiya...if you like it you mite like higurashi no naku koro ni (song)...it's the opening to the anime series ^^ by the same person.
does anybody know when it will come out on DVD? i really want to get it!!! i love gouki maeda, but i don't know when the movie comes out! someone please tell me..T__T D:
Heeeeey.... where's Satoko-chan?! And.. Wait wait, he didn't go in the tool shed in Onikakushi-hen! This movie is supposed to be Onikakushi-ken! He didn't go in the tool shed until the next chapter!!
this is AWESOME but it's disappointing cuz it's not the animated nerdy keiichi we've all come to know and love. same 4 all the charactors. it's great that they are making a movie tho. (it should be animated damn it!!!)
I'll like a Mion or a Shion without green hair. I mean I love the Sonozaki twins for their wonderfully twisted personalities,but I can't really see either one with any other color hair.
That would be nice. But they'd have to be really good ones, unless I wouldn't really be enjoying the movie with being distracted by the unreal looking wigs.
I hope they'll do a good job with the faces,I mean the crazed faces are part of what made the whole series. Well,the faces and the laugh. It'll really suck if they don't do the laugh.
Keiichi of course the only teen male, mion ponytail, rena longish hair done in the front,
satoko ponytails ,and rika with short rena stlyed hair, hmmm I think that keiichi is very hot and mion is very pretty but the rena could have been better I think, she just doesn't give me that rena feeling.Rika and satoko are cute.
London Bridge is falling down? (I cant tell x3) I think it'll be pretty good :) from what Ive seen so far but... maybe there something wrong with me or I just can't tell who's who.. (except for Keiichi lol)
The most obvious should be Rika since she's the one doing the watanagashi. Mion is the one with a ponytail although it's short so it's not easy to see. Rena is a bit hard to tell at first but she's the other girl who looks identical to height with Mion and has hairbands. Satoko is the one with pigtails so it'd be really hard to tell if that was really her if she wasn't short almost like Rika.
Yeah i saw Rika (x-x didnt put it in there) easy to spot since shes the youngest, Rena just a little bit but wasn't to sure, my eyesights not like it used to be. Thanks :)
Wow, thanks for posting! Seeing Higurashi being done by real people makes the story more creepier...which makes me really want to watch the movie! I heard it's comming out in May, I can't wait to see it X3
they looked more like the characters in the anime in the fake trailor. Rena looked more like Rena, they could of atleast used Rena's signature uniform geez
where can i see this at i wanna watch it please someone tell me
